Company Secretary is a key post. Company Secretary or CS has to ensure that one's organisation adheres to all legal aspects.

The CS programme has good employment prospects. Indian companies, with a paid-up share capital of Rs 10 crore or more, should have full-time company secretaries.

The demand for company secretaries is high as there are limited qualified professionals. One need to enroll for a two-stage course run by the Institute of a Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) and pass its examination.

Job aspirants will need to study on their own. But they can depend on study materials sent by the institute, online coaching, classes organised by the institute chapters at certain levels, and at private training centres.

The CS Executive Entrance Test (CSEET) will be held on August 29 now. Job aspirants can register for the test till July 27.

The test was initially scheduled to be held on July 17.
